3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

3D printing concrete in civil engineering:

   The main concept of using 3D printing in the construction industry is saving a lot of production costs on material waste. Producing buildings layer by layer and with lattice structures inside allows for a huge cost reduction. Not only that, but they are also capable of using recycled materials.

    this to various technologies that use 3D printing as a core method to fabricate buildings or construction components. Alternative terms are also in use, such as additive construction

FIRST 3D PRINTING HOUSE:

       

         In a rural area on the outskirts of a town in Southern Mexico, a giant, 33-foot-long 3D printer recently built the walls of the first homes in the world's first 3D-printed neighborhood. The 500-square-foot houses were finished with roofs, windows, and interiors

COST EFFICIENCY:

Enthusiast 3D Printers$1500 – $3500 

Professional Performance 3D Printers$3500 – $6000

Industrial 3D Printers$20,000 – $100,000

IS SAFE OR NOT:

    

   Working with ICON to utilize their technology, 3D printing homes has the potential to produce homes exponentially faster and at a higher quality than traditional construction. These homes are safe.

 

 PRONS:

 

  The main advantages of 3D printing are: reducing costs, less waste, reduce time, get an competitive advantage, reduce errors, confidentiality, production on demand

 

 CONS:

•   3D Printers Aren't that User-friendly
•   Harmful Emissions
•  Too Much Reliance on Plastic
•  3D Printers are Slow
•  Production of Dangerous Weaponry
